User ID: 78973486 United States 05/08/2021 08:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I actually think the 1945 - early 1950s era was better than the mid 50s to the 80s in America. The movies, the feel and look of the times in the USA. USA was trully great in that era. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72411634 Even though the 1955-1985 era was better than now in America, I prefer the LA and NY of the 40s to what they turned by the 70s with the drugs and rundown buildings. In the 1940s NY was like the best city in the world. In the 80s it was a hellhole filled with scum. Nowadays it's a soulelss gentrified copy of it's glorious past. The city drawn in "Mouse in Manhattan" no longer exists. By the 1970s Western Europe once again has started surpassing the quality of life of the USA and the drug problems started to take their toll in the USA. Also in the 40s and 50s one-income households were the norm, not the exception. People bought houses on just 1 salary! people also don't realize that blacks had a much better life then. The black family was intact. Their divorce rate was lower than that of whites. They had fewer children born out of wedlock than whites did. What changed that so radically...... the Democrat President Johnson launched The War on Poverty - (welfare) it eviscerated the once strong black family in ways slavery did not. Thomas Sowell has written extensively on the history of the black family and other hated and impoverished groups in America, like the Irish.

Jesus said that the generation who saw the signs would not pass away before His return. The major sign is the state of Israel, 1948. That's m m m my generation. God knows that this planet has no future after us. Fukushima anyone? We are cooked if God does not intervene. The NWO will happen. That was prophesied, too. The mark of the beast is coming, and a techno fascist state beyond all the worst sci fi nightmares you can imagine. Fortunately, the whole thing will only last for three and a half years. We are very close to that time. The US has to collapse in order for prophesies to be fulfilled. We could not go on as we were since we were barreling into the death of our planet. Fukushima is still spewing radiation into the Pacific. This is the End, my only friend the end. It's the end of the devil's reign, the end of the Kali Yuga, the end of insanity, but it ends with a bang. |

User ID: 79728682 United States 05/08/2021 08:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | born in the 60's im completely done with this 'world'. I hoped that forums like this could turn the tide. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80301826 But in fact, they played part in the dystopia. what I remember from the 80's is that everything was alive. Not good, not bad, but alive, human. Emotions and love. Now I see only hate. It's obvious and i'm grateful that was born in the 60's grandchildren will grow up in hell a dystopia. And even worse they will fight everyone that wants to change it. There are moms and dads not birth people and providers and there are only 2 genders and there used to be a land called America. I was born in 1945 and grew up in the 50s when life was pretty much like Leave it to Beaver. People were really nice to each other in those days. Neighbors watched each other's kids. Moms stayed home to raise the kids and dads made enough to support the family. Weekends were for family trips or other outings. There was hardly any crime. Food was healthy and nutritious. There has never been a time as prosperous as the 50s and the first half of the 60s. I and others my age are thankful that we got to experience the good times. It's been mostly all BS ever since.

User ID: 80193276 United States 05/08/2021 08:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My father and uncle grew up on a farm from 1920-1935. They were pretty much supermen. They did stuff you think is impossible. The uncle would do chin ups with one little finger on a hay rack. The uncle would lift up giant cars like Buicks and caddys to put on jack stands to work on it. Dad would tighten bolts on cars with a short wrench that fit entirely in his hand that you needed a 4 ft cheater bar to remove. You didn't dare give him a normal length wrench. He didn't use a torque wrench, not that anyone had one back then. He would tell me, just tighten it until you hear the nut crack a few times. I watched them get into a small fight one time. The uncle had just upended a bottle of scotch and drank it down like it was a soda pop. The uncle picked up one of those real heavy couches with the steel foldout bed inside. with 1 hand. And threw it at my dad like a damn football. Who then caught it deftly and put it down so as not to have anything damaged in the house. LIke watching a Godzilla movie. He would cut off bolts and rivets using just a little pair of (unpadded) side cutter pliers. Stuff I had trouble removing with a sledge hammer and cold chisel. Even today, you would be well advised not to get into a fight with a farmer. Oh yeah, the grandfather actually did punch a bull and knock it off its feet. It had stepped on his instep and he wanted it off. Then there was a guy that came to town with a circus or something. Challenged anyone that they could not hit him and knock him off his feet or even move his feet from the footprints he outlined on the ground. The grandfather was a peaceful guy and resisted. Finally they egged him on enough that he punched the guy in the chest. He landed on the roof of the building behind him. :) Last Edited by JustmeTX on 05/08/2021 08:55 AM Justme |
